About me

I am a third year Ph.D student in ViVoNets Lab, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at University of California, Santa Barbara. My advisor is Prof. Jerry D. Gibson. My research interests are in video transmission in wireless networks and multiple description video coding. I received both B.E. and M.E. degrees from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University, China in 2004 and 2006, repectively.

• Multiple description video coding over wireless networks.

Communication and Information System Laboratory, Tsinghua University, China

Research Assistant, 4G wireless communication system, 02/2004-06/2006

• Focused on physical layer in the 4G wireless communication system, especially on new
  sequence design and performance simulation.
  
• Applied the Two Dimension Complementary Sequence in MC-CDMA system and analyzed its
  performance using Matlab simulations.
  
• Simulated the performance of the sequences with Three Zero Correlation Windows.
  Studied the enhanced Complementary Code Keying in 802.11b and did simulations.

STMicroelectronics China R&D Center, Shenzhen, China

Intern student, Wireless and Embedded System Team, 08/2005-05/2006

• Worked on Wireless Trunked Radio System project to design a wireless handset based on TETRA protocol.
  
• Designed an embedded OS for TETRA handset based on ucLinux. Ported the kernel to ARM946ES core, improved the real time feature and developed some applications.
  
• Cooperated with other members to implement the TETRA protocol using C, including data link layer and network layer.
